Grace karimi

I am an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer with over 6 years of professional experience in building scalable web applications. My expertise lies in backend development using Python (Django) and creating dynamic frontend interfaces with Vue.js. I have a proven ability to work independently under a registered legal entity, delivering robust solutions for global clients. My strong communication skills, proactive problem-solving approach, and collaborative nature make me a valuable team player.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles, including Lead Python Developer at Safaricom PLC, where I developed and maintained Django-based microservices for customer account and billing APIs. I also led the backend team at Twiga Foods Ltd, optimizing SQL queries and improving database performance by 40%. My experience includes mentoring junior developers and implementing CI/CD pipelines, which have enhanced team productivity and project delivery.

I am passionate about leveraging technology to create impactful solutions, as demonstrated in my project highlights such as Bima360, a SaaS for insurance management, and the Tiba Health Portal, a scalable health records system. I am eager to continue growing in my career while contributing to innovative projects that make a difference.
